Not that any of this belongs in LANCES thread, but good luck getting an sti to blow more than ~ 130 psi on a comp test. Every one I have done has been between 120-130 and most have cp pistons. ---

I don’t know if it was warm or cold though. I was just stating my experience with them, not saying its not possible or anything. I just have yet to see one really high up there. Generally a hot or warm engine seems to make a few more psi but usually not more then 10. Maybe its my mac tools gauge, or that I am just a goober…take it with a grain of salt like anything else around here. ---
